LONDON: Self-styled Druids, new-agers
and thousands of revelers have watched
the sun rise above the ancient stone circle
at Stonehenge to mark the summer sol-
stice---the longest day of the year in the
northern hemisphere.
English Heritage, which manages the
monument, says some 36,000 sun-watchers
gathered on the Salisbury Plain about 80
miles (130 km) southwest of London yes-
terday. Police say the event was peaceful.
Couples kissed, dancers circled with hoops
and revelers took part in a mass yoga practice
as part of the free-form celebrations.
Stonehenge was built in three phases
between 3000 BC and 1600 BC. An icon
of Britain, it remains one of its most popular
tourist attractions.
Solstice literally means stopping or stand-
ing still of the sun. It is used as a name for
the longest day of the year---21 June---when
the sun is at its highest point in the northern
hemisphere.
The sun reaches its highest position in
the sky twice a year as seen from the north
or south pole. This is when either hemi-
sphere is tipped towards the sun more than
on any other day of the year.
The day of the solstice has the longest
period of sunlight in the calendar year (16
hours and 38 minutes in London). The only
exception is in polar regions, where daylight
can last for days or months. In the northern
hemisphere, the summer solstice takes place
between June 20 and June 22.
But in the southern hemisphere, the sol-
stice occurs between December 20 and
December 23. (AP)
